In certain embodiments, a vial adaptor for removing liquid contents from a vial comprises a housing and a bag. In some embodiments, an initial volume of a regulating fluid can be contained within the bag. In some embodiments, the regulating fluid flows into the vial as liquid is removed from the vial via the adaptor, thereby regulating pressure within the vial. In some embodiments, a vial adaptor is coupled with the vial in order to remove the liquid. In some embodiments, as the liquid is removed from the vial via the adaptor, the bag expands, and in other embodiments, the bag contracts.

The present disclosure is directed to a vial adapter for interconnecting a vial and a fluid delivery device, and, more particularly, to a vial adapter having a modular design consisting of separately constructed components cooperatively arranged and coupled to one another. The modular construction allows for rapid manufacturing reconfigurations of one or more components with minimal costs to create new vial adapter configurations that meet specific needs.

In certain embodiments, a vial adaptor for removing liquid contents from a vial comprises a piercing member and a bag. The bag can be contained within the piercing member such that the bag is introduced to the vial when the vial adaptor is coupled with the vial. In some embodiments, the bag expands within the vial as liquid is removed from the vial via the adaptor, thereby regulating pressure within the vial. In other embodiments, a vial comprises a bag for regulating pressure within the vial as liquid is removed therefrom. In some embodiments, a vial adaptor is coupled with the vial in order to remove the liquid. In some embodiments, as the liquid is removed from the vial via the adaptor, the bag expands within the vial, and in other embodiments, the bag contracts within the vial.

A method for obtaining a saliva sample from an animal, particularly a pig, by means of a receiving device and a collecting device with an integrated filter, and a method of using a collecting device with an integrated filter for obtaining a saliva sample from an animal, particularly a pig. In addition, a collecting device comprising a bag, a removable container and a filter, and a kit having such a collecting device, and a receiving device for taking saliva from an animal, particularly a pig.

A vial access device includes an outer housing defining an annular space and an inner space, an inner housing, and a connector configured to engage a mating connector with the connector having a body defining a central passageway and a flange that extends radially outward from the body. The flange and the housing defining a filter space that is in fluid communication with the annular space. A pressure equalization system is positioned within the annular space of the outer housing. The device also includes a vial connection element configured to be secured to a vial and having a body and a spike member extending from the body. The spike member defining a fluid passageway and a vent passageway with the fluid passageway in fluid communication with the central passageway of the connector and the vent passageway in fluid communication with the filter space and the annular space.

The present invention relates to a filtering injection needle assembly for a syringe, and more particularly, to an apparatus for further facilitating suction of an injection liquid. The filtering injection needle assembly includes an injection needle (100) including a needle (110) and a hub (120); and a cap (200) configured to receive the needle (110) and including a filter (210), wherein the hub (200) is formed with a through-hole (121) for communication between an inside and an outside of the hub, and opening/closing of the through-hole (121) is controlled by a one-way valve means (300). The filtering injection needle assembly blocks foreign substances introduced into the syringe, thereby enhancing safety, and wherein the filtering injection needle assembly has various types of one-way valve means provided in the hub of the injection needle to further facilitate the suction of the injection liquid.

A package arrangement is provided. The package arrangement includes a package including a compartment defined by a wall. The wall includes a flexible portion. The compartment stores a beneficial agent. The compartment at least partially collapses in response to applied pressure. The compartment is hermetically sealed in a storage configuration. The package includes a rigid insert including a conduit in fluid communication with the compartment. The rigid insert is positioned inside the compartment and includes an insert coupling portion. The package arrangement further includes a rigid frame containing part of the compartment within the rigid frame. The rigid frame includes a frame coupling portion. The insert coupling portion exerts pressure on the frame coupling portion through the flexible portion to restrict motion of the rigid insert relative to the rigid frame. The flexible portion hermetically seals a proximal portion of the conduit in the storage configuration.

A device for producing an active ingredient solution, preferably an antiseptic wound-irrigating solution, having: a connection element designed and configured for liquid-tight connection to a container; a mandrel designed and configured for piercing a septum of a container; a reservoir containing an active ingredient in solid form, and connectable via an outlet of the reservoir in a fluid-conducting manner to the connection element; a liquid-permeable filter arranged at the outlet of the reservoir and configured to retain the active ingredient in solid form in the reservoir; a fluidic element configured to receive a liquid from a container into the reservoir, configured to dispense a liquid from the reservoir; wherein the device is configured to receive a liquid from a container into the reservoir, to dissolve the active ingredient in the liquid, and to dispense the dissolved active ingredient to a patient via the connection element.

Disclosed is a disposable needle filter apparatus with a universal truncated syringe-receiving neck to enable the filtration of fluids/solutions aspirated into a needle-bearing syringe. The apparatus includes a needle seal stopper and needle stop to create a substantially airtight chamber to facilitate fluid aspiration through an enclosed filter and into the syringe. In an alternative embodiment, the filter apparatus includes an extended syringe-receiving neck configured to receive a specifically sized syringe/needle combination. In a further embodiment, the receiving neck is constructed as a modular unit to allow for interchangeable necks to accommodate different needle and syringe sizes with different cross-sectional diameters. In a yet further embodiment, the neck is constructed with stepped tapered segments of serially larger cross-sectional diameters to accommodate differently sized syringes. In a still further embodiment, the apparatus includes an accessory needle secured to the apparatus inlet.
